I find the funniest part of that photo Ramona's hands rising in what looks like shocked tension yet Dorinda sits calmly with hands on knees.   I'm guessing this is where Bethenny lunges like a lunatic towards Luann lol.

I didn't even notice that

Now I'm giggling cause I'm picturing Ramona in her best Keanu Reeves voice....Hey, I know Kung Fu

Yet Andy is completely unconcerned, whereas when Teresa rampaged at Danielle, he jumped up and attempted to intervene.

Oh dear god, LuAnn's entire outfit is sequined!  To paraphrase Bethenny:  LuAnn never misses the opportunity to wear the wrong thing.

Expand  

Her outfit doesn't look bad in this picture, but has she jumped on board and had a boob job like most of these ladies?  Having seen the "be cool" episode a couple of times, I'm fully aware that Lu is probably a B-cup kind of gal.  Yet she's sporting some DD's in this pic.

[Straycat80]

My first thought when I saw Carole's dress was that it was Victorian era. Ramona's boobs and extensions...no. The rest of the ladies look pretty good. Forty five minutes until this snarkfest begins, can't wait!

I saw this photo and laughed.

Beth on the attack, I can't see the back of her dress, so I don't know if she lost her shit.

You make me want to shout,

kick my heels up and shout........Heeeeeeyeeeeeeeeeeee

Wheeeeeeeee!!!

Oh if she had a boob job, Bethenny would have had it in all the papers, including photos of Luann in disguise entering and exiting the plastic surgeons office.  Not to sound mean I think Luann has added a few pounds to her frame.

Rampaging Teresa tossing Andy aside like a rag doll is one of my favorite HW moments to this day.

I'm so tired of watching Ramona sit so damn awkwardly during these reunions! Can she please sit like a normal fucking person???

B's hair looks like shit. That's all I've got so far.

She sits like she's wearing an extremely rigid foundation garment that limits her ability to move freely.

[Baltimore Betty]

How many dresses do we think Carole had to pick from for this reunion and she settled on that one? It looks like the ugly bridesmaid dress Jill had to wear in Odd Mom Out.  She should fire her stylist and hair person and now we have to look at for the 3 parter reunion.

Jules looks like she is wearing a costume from a Guys and Dolls Vegas review.

Is Luanne wearing another jump suit? Maybe next season she will switch it up.

Dorinda's hair looks great as does Bethenny's and Luanne's.

Sonja is soo chill, loving her!

[Castina]

She is probably wearing Spanx or something similar.

[chenoa333]

LOL! Bethenny looks like shit along with her hair. And who the f did she get her breast implants from? They are awful. Natural breasts do not sit 6 inches apart from each other...thus the word "cleavage".  You look like shit Betheny and you're uglier on the inside. I'm only 15 minutes in to this reunion. How much more can I hate you Bethenny in the next 40 minutes?

Someone asked about this once when she was on WWHL. She said it's because she has excellent posture, which she said is very important. She is such a dumb ass.

That's Ramona's classic arch your back, suck in your stomach look, and it's not a good one.   Those extensions age her - not the look I think she was going for.     Dorinda needs a better bra - those girls are sitting way too low.  Carole's dress is just wrong for her - wrong color, wrong look, just wrong.  She absolutely looks out of place.

I notice that she does sit oddly and this time is no exception, don't these girls ever realize they have to sit in their dresses, this holds true in all the reunions.  And yes Giselle, the dancing, oh the dancing, we need a montage of Ramona's dancing from this season.

OMG! Dancing montage accomplished!

Wow, the illegal drug use got shut down (by all) real quick. Guilty much?

That scene inspired one of my very favorite lines from TWOP. Can't remember their name so can't give them credit but it was along the lines of: Theresa tossed Andy aside like a bill from a creditor. LOL!

[shoegal]

I'm dying watching Jules practically sitting on Sonja... Sonja looks so uncomfortable.

[100PercentPain]

Lu is about to drop the Bethenny news. I can't wait. Bethenny's eyes look like they're going to pop out of her head. Bitch cannot believe someone spilled her business the way she spills everyone else's.

[StevieRocks]

Yeah, to come out with guns blazing that someone does drugs, they sure piped down quickly. Nitwits. And I cannot stand when Crazy Eyes barks, "Next question!" You don't get to say that, you ridiculous crone.

[StevieRocks]

I am so afraid that Skinny Cow is going to suffer from serious sphinctal tearing the way Crazy Eyes and Carole are fighting for space in her anus. Lord. They're screeching in Skinny Cow's defense every time LuAnn calls her out. Super proud of LuAnn for taking on that filthy huckster.

Edited September 1, 2016 by StevieRocks

[SCS]

Sonja seems unable to sit without repeatedly tossing her extensions, pursing and pouting, laughing on cue and sneaking peeks at herself in the monitor.

Carole just called Lu a bitch. Guess the truce is over.

[dosodog]

Carol:  Countess.

Luann:  Bitch.

Larry the Cable guy screwed up so my picture is snow, but the audio is working.

Carol's only there to be Bethanny's toady.  To make her look good. It's not working.

Team Anyone But Bethanny.

[SCS]

OK who called who a bitch?

[howivesforever]

Seems like Andy is no longer on the  Bethenny train.

[LIMOM]

The fuck?

she called the daughter?

wow.

[Pickles]

Carol called Luann a bitch. Carol's sole purpose is to back up Bethenny. Can't stand her. And her dress is hideous. Glad Luann is standing her ground and not letting Bethenny take her down.

[NetflixandChill]

She did NOT just call the daughter! My screen had to be an alternative reality feed, right?! Who does that?! She is psycho!

So sketchy. Protesting to much.

[ticklemepink]

The long story short is that Bethenny has held a grudge against Luann for YEARS - ever since she was the scrappy underdog and Luann looked down on her - and now that she has made it to the "top" she is wasting no time trying to smash Luann back down into the ground. There is a deep-seated hatred in Bethenny's heart against Luann - it was deeply uncomfortable seeing clips of the Berkshires meltdown and I honestly feel like she set women back years with her dirty, low-down slut shaming. 

[HunterHunted]

I feel like this "you were technically dating a married man while you were married" is such a dumb argument to make and a moronic hill to die on. It's a garbage argument, especially as to Bethenny being separated longer than she was married. LuAnn would never have argued that Jason Hoppy was a cheater when he was dating whoever he was dating. The actual argument Lu should  have made is that Bethenny was cool with me at the end of last season, but now has 8 years of resentment. What changed? Have you always hated me and were you just pretending last season? Or is it just because you're now friends with Carole?

The daughter signed off saying "Love you". Most interesting thing from the entire hour IMO. Took the wind right out of Lu's sails!!

[Straycat80]

Well, that was brutal between Lu and Beth. And I loved the exchange between Lu and Carole. Carole called Lu a bitch. Heh!

i have to admit I thought some of the stuff Bethenny said was funny like when she said Lu was a whore writing etiquette books. I've always hated that Lu wrote those books when she was the last person I felt should not preach to other people how to behave when she herself was cursing, sleeping around with men and other bad behavior.

[BlackMamba]

I'm supremely disgusted that Bethenny had no idea what slut shaming was.   This bitch knows! 

Furthermore why would she call the married man daughter  she's bionking to clarify!   Call him!   Let the world know he's still married which  is the point LuAnn was making.  Bethenny can't cast stones and she's doing the same damn thing. 

As for the Dorinda being on coke,  that wouldn't surprise me.   We know she had her highs and lows on the show and can be erratic.   Yet Sonja totally screwed up by not keeping her mouth closed. 

[mothmonsterman]

Bethenny's big act of oh my gosh, does Dorinda do coke was disgusting.  SHE is the one who made it a big deal, fake stammering and all huge eyes and timid.  Yeah right, that is never Bethenny.  I thought she said she never fakes.  That was a fake as hell reaction.

Luann is no match for Bethenny. The more she talks , dumb, da dumb dumb.

She should of stayed home with Tum or went back to her office (orifice) the bathroom at the Regency.

[charming]

Bethenny looked like a complete lunatic. So let me get this straight. She's known the wife since high school and has been in their lives. He's still living at home but is out with Bethenny when they're "recognized" so she calls the wife to "time stamp" the fact that she has no interest in him. Then they start dating a month later because she's had a miraculous change of heart? Hahahaha. Suuuuuure.

It died down because Bethenny couldn't back up her lie. After all, she doesn't want to "ruin anyone" even though she already put it out there for just that purpose.

Well, Luann did bring that up. She asked Bethenny what had changed from the reunion last season to the start up of this season, Bethenny of course had no real answer.

That doesn't explain why the rest of them piped down so quickly. Several of these hags were on the "Dorinda does drugs" bandwagon.

[Castina]

Bethenny and Carole have certainly been saying it on twitter.

[Bronzedog]

To me, the most interesting part was the very swift shutdown of the  drug usage conversation. I wasn't sure whether that was because more than one of them is guilty, or, Bethenny saw a lawsuit in her future.  Of course, Sonja yelling, "everyone knows you use drugs" kinda put the Kabosh on the lawsuit theory.

oops, I see I was too late with my comments!

I love how Luann shut down Carole often.  Carole is basically just Bethenny's echo anyway.

Agreed. I thought this was the dumbest possible route that Lu could have taken. She has a VERY valid argument and solid hill to die on with the slut-shaming (because, yes, Bethenny, no matter what you personally think, Lu's sex life is NOT your business), but she's too dumb to see it. I felt like even Andy was trying to hand that argument to her. I actually thought Bethenny came off fine here and am not sure why she is (if she is?) upset. Luanne mostly just kind of took some of the wind out of my Lu fan club sails tonight, because I can deal with a lot of things, but dumb isn't one of them. She also looked kind of dumb talking about how you can't "steal" a man (very true!) after we saw her prattling on about some woman's "clutches" like a humiliated high school girl just an episode ago.

Exactly!   I don't believe for a second.   The girl was too prepared.   Bethenny knew she would be called out on because it was in the press she was dating the married dude then.   Andy also is no better because he was protecting his favorite girl and not asking for the main truth.

Assuming it was the daughter. Who knows, could have been a Bethy employee told to read her lines. Paging Mr. Cohen...why not ask the age of said daughter?  Or if Bethy would like her daughter dragged into a fight between howives?  And, before Sonja opened her big mouth, there was a nice lawsuit on the table, just waiting for Bethy. Of course, she got her slander on TV without a shred of backup or evidence. Ugly business, but par for the course for Bethy.

I am enjoying Lu silencing Carole. And using the Polish pronunciation of Radziwill.
